A must! Please visit. Fantastic coffee options. Delicious breakfast options. You can not find eggs cooked our with the spices offered here. My favorite breakfast dish is the crossiant egg sandwich. Fluffy, scrumptious, and packed with flavor!Ethiopian Injera that is gluten-free (unlike some local Ethiopian restaurants). A delicious and clean Ethiopian offering - without heavy oils.We always order the vegan Platter or chickpea stew for lunch/dinner.A cozy, cozy space to co-work, mingle. And enjoy!

Unique, inviting and impressive! We were greeted so pleasantly as first timers here and the coffee was made with so much care. We ordered a vanilla latte and a pour over coffee. Both were so delicious and the price is so affordable! Thankful to have ABOL CAFE in our neighborhood.

This place is so cute. I only knew about it from Books & Brews and came to try the coffee. My latte is delicious!! The guy working here is super friendly and nice. I will be back to try the food.

This place is amazing. I actually forgot to take pictures because I was too distracted talking to the owner about the amazing atmosphere and Ethiopian language and his experiences as an immigrant in the US and his very fancy coffee machine that he was very proud of ("the Telsla of coffee makers", he called it! He showed me how it works, and it is - in fact - the Tesla of coffee machines). So not only was the service and atmosphere absolutely inviting, the quality of human interaction I experienced was remarkable. I spent a full hour just talking and asking questions and getting to know the people working that day. Also - they have a printer available for anyone to use (pay like $.15/page or something) - all you have to do is email them and tell them "hey im having this printed and I'm going to come get it in half an hour" - which is such a thoughtful service to offer, especially for those of us who dont have a home printer but still need to be able to print resumes and school assignments or various forms required for daily adult life. So - if you're just looking for a great cup of coffee or a tasty treat, I would highly recommend this place. My medium coffee and baklava (a generous serving) came out to $11 - very reasonably priced. If you are looking to connect with new people and experience a sense of community and perhaps indulge in a bit of cultural exchange, in addition to enjoying a delicious coffee, I can assure you that you wont be disappointed at Abol Cafe.

Yesterday I decided I was going to try a new local coffee shop and Abol is the place I chose (their menu mentioned baklava, and i couldnt resist)This place is amazing.

This is an unassuming little place on the corner of Cannons Lane and Frankfort Ave. I was skeptical, but finally checked it out, and what a surprise! Great coffee, which they roast in house! Plus you can buy unroasted coffee beans for those of us who like to roast at home!! And they do a coffee ceremony, which I have yet to experience, but hope to do in the near future. I highly recommend a visit.

The cafe is a gem! Hands down, some of the best coffee in town. The coffee is bold and smooth, and you can get many of the typical drinks you would find in a another coffee shop but the variety of Ethiopian concoctions on the menu are a great new experience! The owner is super friendly, generous , and accommodating. He loves to tell customers all about the history and culture surrounding Ethiopian coffee and treats regular customers like family. The food is great as well. I personally love Ethiopian food so getting coffee here in the morning along with the house vegan platter is a fantastic way to start my day. They recently added a lot of custom wood furniture to the interior that really adds to the cafe's personality. Best place to go in crescent Hill for a quiet cup of coffee!
